Pastelaria Adega is a Portuguese bakery in downtown San Jose, open Wednesday to Sunday, 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Pasteis de nata baked through the day, flaky, blistered and still warm; order ahead and your box is waiting when you arrive.
Family owned and operated. Pastry chef Jessica Carreira. From the team behind Michelin-recognized Adega.
The Portuguese pastry shop, and in Portugal a way of life: the counter you stop at every morning, the case that changes with the season, the one pastry a house is known for and makes all day. Ours is the nata.
A simple menu, done properly. Mix and match the available flavors in any box; traditional is always our recommendation.
Flaky, crunchy laminated pastry around a velvety, sweet custard, with the blistered top that only comes from a properly hot oven. Flavors this month: traditional, hazelnut chocolate, passionfruit, guava, ube, lemon, pumpkin, and two new ones, matcha green tea and peanut butter and jelly.
Light, airy, rolled in sugar, and best eaten within about a minute of being handed to you. Flavors this month: hazelnut chocolate, dulce de leche, sweet egg cream, vanilla bean, guava cheesecake, and cookies and cream.
Right now, two new pastel de nata flavors, matcha green tea and peanut butter and jelly, new for November. When something new comes out of the kitchen, this is where it goes, and it is the first thing regulars look for.
The whole site is built around this. Ordering is never more than one tap away from wherever you are on the page.
Browse the tray and choose what you want, with everything priced up front and nothing to guess at.
Order ahead for later today or for the weekend, and pick the slot that suits you.
Skip the line. Your box is prepared, labelled, and waiting when you arrive.
